Jayadeva de Silva entered politics out of concern for his children's future and the responsibility of his generation to ensure future generations do not face hardships. As an independent candidate, he believes the government should empower all people by ensuring access to basics like shelter, education, healthcare, a healthy environment, safe communities, and security in old age. His goals of social justice, fiscal responsibility, and environmental protection do not belong to any single party, and he aims to remind citizens that the government has an important role in protecting current and future welfare and creating a sustainable society.
